Shorthanded
With the 1st blizzard of the season dumping 2ft on New England the league was forced to cancel the first half of the double header weekend.
Games on Sunday went on as planned but all the teams were shorthanded for their matchups.
We understand that it was a Sunday game (or guys were tired from shoveling or plowing) but the league is committed to competitive games and will bring in eager and willing substitute players from the waiting list to get a look at their skill levels for future drafts and placements.
Captains are being instructed to let the League Director know when teams have 3+ roster players missing from the game. The leagues scouts need to fill out their scouting reports for future placement and/or draft eligibility.
Temp to Perm
There are no mandatory minimum games required for the playoffs.., but a warning is going out to players who continuously miss games (and the majority) of their season.
Last year a player was removed from a team and placed back on the waiting list for too many missed games. This season the league is monitoring players and their continued (non-IR related) absences.
With new players coming into the league and the competition evening out.., the guy that we use in your absence.., could end up being your replacement.
The league will not be extending to 7 or 8 teams anytime soon.., so if you find yourself on the outside looking in.., don’t forget to wear a jacket because you may be on the outside for a while.
Circus Act
Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus added a new high-flying act to expand on "The Flying Wallendas".., this season for 2022 they introduced the new "Flying Tammaro"
The new "Flying Tammaro" is a small Italian right winger who has the ability to fly through the air... catch a ball "off-sides" but land "on-sides" before turning and burning up the boards to rip a blast and go ahead goal without ever being called for off-sides.
WynnBet
Joe Shannon and Matty Iannello have been officially notified by the league that "It's On!"
Coming into this season Matty had a (regular season) 13-goal lead over his predecessor Joe... and even coming into last week "The Great One" still had a 13-goal lead over "The Canteen Man"
It's not a question of Joe catching (or passing) Matty this season... those odds would be 1,000:1... but the bet is what will be the final deficit at the end of this season.
Here is the official WynnBet line:
Matty +5 ($10) - Anonymous 1
Matty +10 ($10) - Anonymous 2
Matty +11 ($10) - Anonymous 3
(If) Joe passes Matty outright this season he will collect the pot (currently at $30) from the (3) Anonymous bettors.
(If) Joe doesn't pass Matty.., he has to pay $10 into the pot and whichever Anonymous bettor is closest to their guess (without going over)... WINS!!
Since betting is not allowed at Bushwood.., just remember to "Knock three times.. On the ceiling if you want in"
Update: Matty scored 2-goals last week to advance to a (+15) advantage.., which is available for “Anonymous 4?”
Place your bets: The betting window closes after the 7th game of the season is played.
F'em!
Newly made-man Ray Dow will now be having his Sunday "Coffee with the Old Man" courtesy of the Over-30 League and his Dunkin Donuts Player of the Week Award.
Ray had a "Top Secret" message for the former "Championship runner ups" Top Secret team.., "Make sure you team shows up... or the beatings will continue"
Ray led his team on the scoring sheet with a hat trick... which means the "Old Man" will have to sit through three reenactment stories of Ray's goals from last week along with his weekly "F'em's"
Congrats Ray... and make sure you get the "Old Man" a large coffee and a tasty treat with your bounty and remind him that this round is on Bill abcunas, the second (and the real imposter) of the "Real #5".
Spring Challenge
The new "Spring Season Challenge" page is up and running.. and for those of you like some members of the board that couldn't find it... it's under the "Weekly Updates" tab (on the left).
This weeks update is have technical difficulties.., but you can see what you need to qualify and do your own math until we resolve the issue. Good Luck!
Spring Chicken Award
Using the same concept as the "Spring Challenge Award".., the new "Spring Chicken Award" is going to be handed out to a single player that has gone the most over their previous winter stats.
If multiple players tie for the prize... the Over-30 Historical Statistician has created an algorithm to declare a single winner based on weighted calculations for (Points, Goals, Assists, GWG)
The winner will receive a special prize that includes $30 in scratch tickets.
So bury all your scoring opportunities... rack up all the assists and don't leave points on the table... but also; don't be a Gino Tammaro either.
